Some Things q Lover Should, and Others
 He Should Not, Do or Say.
 Select the girl. Agree with the girl S father in politics and the mother in re- ligion. If you have a rival keep an eye on him. Don't swear to the girl that you never heard yourself snore in your sleep. Don't put too much sweet stuff on paper. Hyou doyou will hear it read in after years, when your wife has some especial purpose in inficting upon you the severest punishment known to a married man. Go home at a reasonable hour in the evening. Don't wait until the girl has to throw her whole soul into yawn that she can't cover with both hands. A little thing like that may cause a coolness at the very beginning of the game. In cold weather finish saying good night in the house. Don't stretch it all the way to the front gate and thus lay the foundation for future asthma, bronchitis, neuralgia and chronic catarrh to help you worry the OlGl BC u6dlu dlItI ollG udS dlIlON Olis Don't lie about your financial condi- tion. It is very annoying for bride who has pictured for herself life of luxury in your ancestral halls to learn too late that you expect her to ask a bald-headed parent to take you in out of the cold. Don't be too soft. "These little hands shall never do stroke of work when they are mine, and you shall have nothing to do in our home but to sit all day long and chirp to the canaries," as if any sensible woman could be happy fooling away time in that sort of style, and girl has fine retentive memory for soft things and silly promises of courtship. Occasion ally, in after years, when she is wash ing the dinner dishes or patching the west end of your trousers, she will re- mind you of them in cold, sarcastic tone. Don't be chump.-Io10a Mes senger.

mind the fact that the mechanical state of the elements of those materials greatly modifes their resistance. Those which are of a crystalline char acter do not yield so readily as those which are amorphous, and the crystal lization produced by volcanic or plu- tonic influence appears to be even more permanent than that which takes place in the ordinary way. It follows from these considera- tions that the stones of an irreg- ular, confused, earthly texture, which are able to absorb considerable quanti- ties of moisture, and which contain silica in a soluble form, or the car bonate of lime, should never be em- ployed in positions where rain water could lodge upon them, beat against them, or be taken up from external sources by capillary or other action. In positions exposed to any of the above dangers, none but non-absorbent and decidedly crystalline materials should be used, and as those qualities are al- most exclusively possessed by dense stones, it may be considered that the mere specific gravity of stone is prun1G tacie indication of its construct i've value. But atmospheric moisture, when absorbed into building stones, acts upon them quite as much through the changes in its own volume, in pass ing from the liquid to the solid state at the time of frost, as it does by the chemical dissolution it produces. If the stone should be placed in such manner as that water should accumulate in any per ceptible quantities between its various layers, and if the position of those lay CTS be such that the expansion of the water in freezing can not take place freely, the respective layers containing the water will be violently detached from one another.
 Now all stones, even the crystalline limestones and slates, have certain planes or directions of cleavage or of stratifcation, along which water flows more readily than in any other course. If the stones be placed in Q building with those planes in direction likely to retain rain falling upon, or absorbed through the surface (which is the case when stones are placed "bed to wealth er'0, disintegration must ensue unless the edges of the beds be left free, and even in that case there is danger of frost detaching one layer from anoth- er.-G R.

DECAY OF STONE.
The Influence of Atmospheric Pressure | Upon All Kinds of Building Stones.

The Influence of Atmospheric Pressure
 Upon All Kinds of ding Stones.
 The dissolving power of atmospheric moisture seems to depend greatly upon the quantity of free carbonic acid gas it holds in solution; and though this quantity in any given volume of water be extremely minute, in course of time every substance which has an affinity for it will yield more or less to its ac- tion. The silicates of potash and soda, for instance, which are present in the igneous rocks-or, to dwell especially on the class of materials under our mo- tice in the Devonshire granites-are easily decomposed when rain water falls upon them, and, the feldspar being removed mechanically by any of the countless actions of nature, it leav es the other ingredients of the material exposed to the mechanical disintegra- ton of changes of temperature. The simple carbonates of lime, again, some times absorb carbonic acid with much avidity, and pass into the state of the sol uble bicarbonates; and thus. in propor- tion as the original face of the stone is removed, does the lower surface be- come exposed to the action of the rain. The rain water of such a town as Lon don not only does contain large quan- titles of free carbonic acid, but It also contains sulphuric acid and ammonia, which are capable of exercising a very deleterious influence upon the carbon ates of lime. In discussing, however, the effects of these agents upon build ing stones. it is essential to bear in

When the Cuckoo Cries.

In Northumberland one is told if you are walking on a hard road when the cuckoo first calls, that the ensuing sea- son will be full of calamity; to be on soft ground is a lucky omen. In the Maritime highlands and Hebrides, if the cuckoo is first heard by one who has not broken his fast, some misfort- une is expected. Indeed, besides the danger, it is considered a reproach to one to have heard the cuckoo while hungry. In France to hear the cuckoo for the first time fasting is to make the nearer an idle do nothing for the rest of the year. or to numb his limbs for the same period. There is a simi- lar belief in Somersetshire. In Vest phalia the peasants, on hearing the cuckoo for the first time, roll over and over on the grass in order to insure themselves against lumbago for the rest of the year. This is. considered all the more likely to happen if the bird repeats his cry while they are on the ground. Chicago Neo0S.

Che Judge Went Home.

At a recent term of a Justices court, held
in a cous,ty, a very important case was being
tried. Eminent legal counsel had been en-
ployed by both sides. the evidence had all
been submitted, the counsel for the complain
ant had finished his argument and the Judge
and those present were listening to the law
yer for the defense, who endeavored, of
course, to put forth his side of the case in the
best possible manner. All of a sudden the
Judge was seen to write something on small
slip Of paper, which he then proceeded to fold
nicely, and, depositing the same in copy of
the code in front of him, took his hat and,
remarking to the astonished gentleman, "You
can proceed with your argument, Mr.. -,
and when you have finished you will find my
decision in this case on that slip of paper, "
arose to leave.
In vain were the remonstraces of the coun-
sci. The judge would not be persuaded to
remain, remarking to his astonished aud
fence:

That means rain, and Pm going home to set

SAVED BY A LAUGH.


A Sick Young Broker who Lost Hts
Lunch, but Got Well by IL.
A well known and popular young broker
living up town in the immediate vicinity Of
his fashionable club, was few days ago the
victim of an experience at once amusing and
irritating. The episode is too good to remain
untold, but all names will be withheld
through sympathy. The young man was i'll
at his lodgings, and flowers, kind messages,
cigars, thoughtful friends nor nothing else
could alleviate his sufferings Everybody
was in despair until a medicine man was sent
for.
After feeling the patients pulse the physi-
clan shook his head gravely and declared that
the broker must do something to get up an
appetite. To do this a sample from the roper
toire of the far famed cuisine of the brokers'
club was prescribed. No objection was raised
to this kind of medicine, and the sick mans
valet sent at once for menu of the club
The invalid raised his fevered head on his
elbow, and, CHANGING over the bill Of fare,
proceeded to order what he thought would re-
store the bloom to his cheeks and the luster to
his eyes
There was bouillon, thin and transparent as
an October morning, canvasback duck fresh
from the shores of Maryland, and a lot of
other dainty dishes. This was topped off
with liberal supply Of pate de fol gras and
two or three bottles of Poutet- Canet and
Mumm. The messenger bell was then rung
and the order was intrusted to bright eyed
little Mercury. Away sped the boy to the
club, and his order set every employe there in
commotion. Even the chef woke up and with
his own hands prepared salad with dressing
polished enough for the gods
Meanwhile at the lodging of the broker all
was topsy turvy. The invalid with consider
able alacrity paced the room, and his valet
bestirred himself with extraordinary agility.
They waited long and patiently, but neither
the boy nor his choice viands put in an APP
pearance. After considerable delay the sus-
pense became so exasperating that the man
servant was ordered to go in search of the
youngster and bring him in dead or alive
He at once started out, but proceeded no
further than the door of the brokers lodgings
There, comfortably seated on the rug with
his feet dangling gayly over the steps, was
the missing urchin. Crumbs, greasy spots
and empty bottles we're all that remained Of
the sumptuous repast, and the little Mercury
was in frame of mind bordering on hilarity.
As soon as the broker heard how his dinner
disappeared he laughed long and heartily 1t
was the first smile that he had given while ILL.,
The invalid tried to save the boy, and inter
posed earnestly for him, but in vain. Now
the boy and the broker are good friends, and
the broker is fast convalescing.-NewY York

The CoIored Troops Went Wild.

But in few moments more the glad It'd
ings were confirmed, "Lee surrenders," and
what followed has been described a thousand
times before. No man shall ever see such
scene again, unless it may be when, at the end
of all things, the ransomed of the lord shall
return with songs and with everlasting Joy
upon their heads, and mingle their mighty
acclaim on the plains of eternal glory. The
colored troops went Wild thought stark
mad with joy. They shouted, danced and
sang. They embraced each other and rolled
on the ground, kicking in the air, laughing,
screaming, crying and blessing de lord"
Five thousand colored troops were close upon
our right Their exultation knew no bounds,
and so transported were they in their ecstasy,
in obedience to their peculiarly emotional in
stincts, that hundreds of them fired their
rifles straight up into the sky, and the bullets
returning with the same velocity with
which they were shot up, actually killed
and wounded fifty of these happy fellows in
the moment of victory and the delirium of
their joy.-Private Dalzell in Cleveland

A doctor named Francois earned hundred
francs the other day and had good deal Of
fun into the bargain. A lady's pet dog swal-
lowed "a bank note of the value of l 900 francs
1t was such an accident as has happened be-
fore in the worlds history, and it has usually
resulted, when the amount lost was large, in

the lady would have sacrificed the bank note
rather than the innocent pup, so she set out

and then puzzled. The lady was sure the dog
had not chewed the note all to pieces, and she

a client and so he tried the only remedy that
seemed to offer hope. Doggy was placed in a
chair ana pan was put IN front OF him.
Then the physician administered an emetic.
The dog took whole glassful without protest
and without effect, while his mistress stood
by anxiously. After that the dog seemed dis
inclined to swallow more, but a little was
forced down his throat and then the smell of

had been taken speedily appeared and, happy
